RTC 2012 railing porn

So myself, Robert and Krista Manna ran our Stair and Railing class yesterday at RTCUSA 2012. I think it was well received? One assumes that everybody knew the new stair and railing tools in 2013, but that wasn't necessarily the case. So, I thought I'd share show of the railing examples I produced for my portion of the session. These files will be uploaded for all to download once the event is finished.

Project Vasari - new Dynamo

The Vasari team have just released a brand new Dynamo as a WIP. This looks extremely exciting and after attending Matts class at RTCUSA, this is really pushing the boundaries of what Revit and Vasari can do. There are installers for Vasari and Revit as well as lots of examples on the Autodesk labs site, check the link below.

http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/vasari/

Key new features include:
User Interface -- side panel to allow you to search and then drag and drop new nodes in to place
User-created nodes – you can make 'sub-nodes' and then reference them elsewhere, these act like writing a reusable function in a programming language
Python Scripting node
Math, logic and other nodes – many new nodes added to support evaluation, iteration and looping

A note from the Dept. of Cut-and-Paste Press Releases

Uh, you guys... I think it's great that the season will end with a multi-race western swing, and a Pomona finale. But average speeds on the Pomona half-mile are about 60 miles an hour. If anyone's going to hit 130 on those short straights, you'd better double up the Airfence.

And while you're editing that press release, can you maybe come up with a better adverb, to describe racing action, than 'ground pumping'? I mean, seriously. What are they doing out there? Fracking Pomona to extract natural gas?

Look, no one has to crank up the hyperbole machine to convince me that Grand National flat tracking is the most exciting motorcycle sport. It is, with due respect to those XR1200 road racers, the only motorcycle sport that has a hope in hell of tapping the huge majority of Americans for whom 'motorcycle' = V-Twin. It's got more American heritage, a cadre of young riders who embody McQueen-esque cool far more than road racers; the winner's rarely decided by more than a couple of bike lengths, and nowadays it's less and less a foregone conclusion what marque he'll be riding, or even that it will be a he. (Nichole Cheza's time will come!)

With all that's going for it, the question is, why is flat track such a sketchy proposition? If this press release is any evidence, part of the problem's the way the sport's marketed.

This post: poned. Quite a morning for motorcycle news...

 It's already been quite a morning for motorcycle news. I was reading about the Colorado Springs wildfires in the mainstream news, and found myself wondering if it could possibly be wise to run the Pikes Peak race next week.

The Waldo Canyon fire is just north of Pikes Peak, and there are a couple of hot spots that have already jumped south of Highway 24. It's one thing to evacuate a neighborhood, it's another thing altogether to get thousands of fans off a mountain with one winding two-lane road for access. (And, in case you're wondering about abandoning your car up there and getting off Pikes Peak by foot... unless you're an Army Ranger, you can probably forget it.

Then, as soon as I switched from scanning my 'media' feed to scanning my 'motorcycle' feed, I learned that the July 8 event has been postponed.

That only makes sense. Having raced there a couple of times, I know that under the best of circumstances, it takes hours to get thousands of fans off the mountain, since there's only one road (and one slow rail line) up and down. Egress from Laguna Seca is positively free-flowing by comparison.

A fire on the mountain, particularly one that cut off the road, would set up a disaster. While I assume that the feds will do what it takes to protect the Air Force Academy, and bring the immediate fires under control, until there's some rain up on the mountain it doesn't make sense to line the road with thousands of fans who might themselves accidentally start a fire. Lightning strikes are also common up there. The reason Devil's Playground has its name is that there are so many lightning strikes in that particular spot.

When the organizers do reschedule the race, I hope this experience serves as a wakeup call. They need a helicopter SWAT team of firemen on call.

Mike 'Stu' Stuhler dishes on the Brad Baker/Kenny Tolbert 'split'...

Mike Stuhler (who has often supplied me with great photos from his archive, when I've sought to illustrate racing from the '70s and '80s) swapped his camera for a keyboard and posted a very insightful interview with tuning-ace-turned-team-owner Kenny Tolbert, on the subject of his 'split' with the up-and-coming Brad Baker.

If you've never checked out Mike Stuhler's blog, you should. But if you've got work to do today, be warned: there's hours-worth of stuff to pore over here...

Tolbert's always friendly, but I don't know what Mike's trick was to get him to really open up. Kenny never wants to talk that much to me! You should definitely read the whole thing here.

Tolbert really drives home a couple of key points:

• While you can build a (nearly) competitive Kawasaki for a fraction of the cost of an XR750 Harley, the cost of the bike is only a fraction of the total cost of contesting the season. Kenny said he spent $20k on diesel fuel alone, in his final year as Chris Carr's tuner.
• While there are a few sponsors chipping in to show their love of the sport, there clearly aren't the sponsors we need, which is to say -- even for a team run by a legendary tuner and fielding one of the hottest young talents on dirt -- we don't have sponsors with deep enough pockets who are drawn to flat track because it will provide a winning return on a sponsorship investment. This is America: flat track can't continue operating on hand-outs. We have to find a way to make it work as a sponsorship-driven business.

I received this email on 13 june:

Hi, Nicolas

First of all Thanks so much in share your tutorial for all it was helpful. If I do not bother you, may you give a favor?
Do you have any information/ Tutorial about Class A Surface like requirements, Rules and how to build complex surface? if you have some could you please send me by e-mail or post in your blog.....

Thanks so much....

Kindest regards

Inside this email we can see some of the most commun questions about Class A surfacing:

1) Where to find information / tutorialto archive a Class A ?

2) Which Rules should be use in Class A ?

3) how to build complex Surface ?

=> Massive questions!

Regarding the number 3), I cannot explain how to build a complex surface by word... Please ask me, show me an example of which surface looks like complex for you and after that I could probably show you some workflow to archive your request... One thing you need to keep in mind = Everything is possible to do (industrial staff of course) by computer, the most difficult sometime is to define the good (right) direction to build the shape.
Again, show me an example... I will (try) help you!

For the number 1), you can find some free tutorial in Internet (take care about what you see on the web)... I found many "funny" workflow but these wokflows did not work as well as they said in the industrie area.

For exemple: The Blue Print ! ! ! I never saw during my short experience someone who can build a product directly with all of the three or the four 2D views who match exaclty each other. The most of the people are using that to REBUILD an existing shape... My question is: Why I need to rebuild a 3D model already done? For me I prefer copy/paste the existing 3D data and after that I can play golf ;-)

Where to find information / tutorial... Here! but it takes time and I sure many of you can share some links in this blog (if you want of course).
In my case, the most of the tutorials are in my mind and I cannot find the correct plug to convert in 0 and 1... Becarful, you need to keep in mind:

"You need at least 3 or 4 years study before doing well a Class A project."

It looks long but before that you cannot be proficient for the car industrie).
For product design, it could be shorter but I am not sure... Anyway, you need to strat one day!

The best way for me to learn correctly and quickly the Class A is to find some courses directly with experts in the industrie, school (more difficult to find Class A). Of course it is not free... But nothing is free, except this blog!

I just receive a link to find a way to record my screen and if it works well, probably I will put some video to show you my workflow in live, easier to understand than pictures... We will see.

And for the number 2), this should be another specify post because there are so many differents rules and the most are "confidentiel", at least every company build their own rules regarding their industrial process.

Also, I will show and tell you later some of them, the basic one who can work for 80% of the Class A...

Same, if someone of you would like to share his rules, no problem this blog is for that... Do not hesitate to participate, I like that and I like to discuss about process, rules, workflow, "cuisine", etc.



Thank you again for all people follow me and see you later.

The Honda production racer I'm drooling over

As early as 2014, Honda will sell you a production-racing variant of its current MotoGP contender, assuming of course that HRC sniffs your butt and wags its tail, and that you've got a check for €1M. 

As initially reported by David Emmett, Honda will be producing a 'production racing' variant of its RC213V MotoGP racer, which it will sell to privateer teams as early as 2014. The price, I read, will be 'under a million euros'. Given my background in advertising, I interpret that to mean, € 999,999.99 (except in Greece, where it will sell for a trillion drachmas.)

I'm not sure whether that price includes some certain number of engines, or exactly how a serial-production race bike fits into the current CRT rules; I don't know if those details have even been sorted out. Emmett quotes FIM President Vito Ippolito as saying that the series needs a bike 'like' the TZ750 that he raced in the '70s and '80s.

I'm in the middle of transcribing a great chat I had with ex-TZ750 ace Rich Schlachter who, again, underlined for me the uniqueness of the four-cylinder Yamaha -- it was an affordable bike that came out of the crate with close to world-class speed. (It could be affordably tuned to deliver truly world-class speed; Schlachter's privateer TZ went through the speed trap at Daytona at 186 mph in 1978 or '9.)

The key word here is 'affordable'. Now, obviously, a contemporary MotoGP bike -- even one dumbed-down with, say, conventional valve springs instead of pneumatic valves -- is two or three orders of magnitude more complex than a TZ750.

But.

Corrected for inflation, the price that Schlachter paid for his TZ works out to under $15,000.

I.E., the privateer's production-racer price tag has gone up two orders of magnitude, too. That makes racing motorcycles the only area of high technology that's not subject to Moore's law.

Of course, the availability of semi-competitive, megabuck privateer MotoGP bikes means squat to me. But there is a Honda production racer that I'm drooling over. It's the track-ready CBR250 that Honda has made available for racers in a Japanese domestic CBR250R Cup series.

I'm not sure what, if any, other markets are destined to get this bike, which is basically a stock CBR250R with race bodywork, a quick shifter, and uprated ECU. What a great idea!

Honda here in the U.S. will, doubtless, fail to see the merit in an affordable track-day bike that won't eat tires. After all, U.S. dealers still routinely advise beginners to start out on 600s. Why would they want to sell anyone a bike like this, that's learner-friendly and will create a safe, avid, expert motorcyclist for life? 

[Author note: That was sarcasm. American Honda, please bring this bike to the U.S. market!]

While I was looking for some other pic of the CBR250R Cup bike -- because every web site and blog on earth has used the same pic (seen above) that was supplied by Honda -- I came across this photo of the racers in a Malaysian CBR250 spec class. It was on the MotoMalaya blog, which is posted in English with the amazing subtitle "News updates and mods about underbone and superbikes." Yes, you read that right, 'underbone'. Now, I don't know what underbone means, but judging from this crowd of teenaged riders, and remembering how excited motorcycles used to make me, I have to admit that in use, this motorcycle probably is under a bone.

UPDATE...

After I posted this, H4L's Wes Siler sent me an email explaining that 'underbone' is a term for scooters in southeast Asia. Oh well; I guess I should have known, since I have an underbone. But I still think my definition is better...

Preparing for a kayak trip: Shelter, part one

We've become fans of wing-shaped tarps for kayak and camping trips. They offer protection if you have to set up a tent in the rain, a covered but ventilated place for cooking, and an option outside the tent if you're stuck on land waiting for a storm to pass. Awing tarp requires fewer poles than a square tarp, sheds water efficiently and holds up well in the wind.

We've been impressed by the MSR Zing when we've seen it used with large groups, but at nearly seven pounds and 28 by 6 inches (packed), and a price tag of $400, that's more than we need for a four-person trip.

So we were pleased to meet its kid sister, the Twing. Smaller (8 by 6 inches) and lighter (2 1/4 pounds),  it can be pitched with support from spare paddles and provide the kind of protection we need.

Hannah under the Twing.

Back in its bag, the Twing is small and light.

And as with all equipment for a trip, it's a good idea to practice using it before it's actually needed. We found the Twing quick and easy to set up, take down and repack. Adding additional guylines made it exceptionally sturdy.

This one's a keeper. We're looking forward to using it in August--or better yet, finding we don't need it because the weather is glorious the entire time we're gone. (Ha!)

感想XD

今天看到人家傳回來的報價單

加power point的相關說明

心情又悶了一下

幹XD



原本我的報價

對方嘗試動些小動作讓數字看起來低點

例如合併

前台->xxxx功能: 前台blablalbalblalbal $3000
後台->xxxx功能: 後台blablalbalblalbal $3000

他改成

前後台->xxxx功能: 前台blablalbalblalbal後台blablalbalbla $4000


還有powert point上面有的東西

報價單上面沒有........因為傳回來的報價單已經被他移除XDXDXD




我覺得很花時間

也很智障

因為我也花了時間了解對方的需求

試圖了解

在弄報價

報價單寄過去~~~~在寄回來~~~~東西就長不一樣

我又要在review一次excel的報價單+power point的說明

看完~~~在把改過的報價單寄過去

今天寄回來~~~是經他小動作修改過得報價單

林娘很無言


本人看起來正直正直的~~~~~是個好人

弄東西卻GGYY

我真的覺得我報的很低了說

卻還要這樣搞

我覺得~~~~~~




不經一事不長一智XD




往後如果還有機會接case

我覺得還是別低價賤賣生命好XD

因為對方還是會覺得好貴

不如一次報糕點~~~~~~~~也比較多空間可以調整

要馬不做~~~~~~~皆大歡喜

hooray~~~~~~

今天這樣一來一往

感覺超差

我覺得對方要就直接說~~~~

幹!太貴了

我聽了

我也爽

太貴~~~~我覺得別做了呀

不是沒權力比價

就像我喜歡一次買整箱奶茶比較便宜~~~不是可以這樣滿足需求嗎

而不是小動作改報價單~~~~~~真的北七到爆

這樣我很煩~~~~~也很悶


反正就一個經驗囉A_Ay

At Suzuki, 2 + 2 = 0.2 (percent)

In my normal morning coffee news-prowl, I followed a link to a story on the 24/7 Wall Street site carrying the headline, 10 brands that will disappear in 2013.

Suzuki was on the list, which made me think, "OK, times are hard, but Suzuki's not that close to the edge. Or is it?"

It turned out that the story was about Suzuki's car division, and I think it must really be about the car division here in the U.S. At least, there's no indication in the piece that Suzuki's global car sales are disastrous. Still, for what it's worth, IIRC, after the Bush meltdown, American Suzuki blended the administrations of the car and motorcycle groups to a certain extent. That presumably means that the motorcycle guys are sharing overhead with the car guys, and that if the car guys simply pack up and vanish, the moto guys will have to cover the whole nut.

Suzuki's cars, small SUVs and crossovers have not managed to help its motorcycle successes, uh, cross over into the auto sector.

For what it's worth, here's what they had to say about Suzuki's failure to attract U.S. car buyers...

American Suzuki Motor sold 10,695 cars and light trucks in the first five months of this year. That was down 3.9% compared with the same period in 2011. The sales gave the manufacturer a U.S. market share of just 0.2%. One reason the company has trouble moving its vehicles is the poor reputation of its cars. In the 2012 JD Power survey of U.S. vehicle dependability, Suzuki’s scores in power-trains, body and materials, and features and accessories were below those of almost every other brand. One sign Suzuki is having trouble selling its vehicles is that it currently offers a very aggressive zero-percent financing package for 72 months on all of its 2012 cars, trucks and SUVs. Even with aggressive sales tactics, Suzuki cannot improve its position in the American market. Most of its cars sell for less than $20,000 and its trucks and SUVs for under $25,000.  Almost every other manufacturer with a broad range of vehicles has flooded this end of the market with cheap, fuel-efficient models. Arguably the most successful car company in the U.S. based on growth — Hyundai — does particularly well in this segment.

For my money, the ticket to Suzuki's success would have been to fit the now-discontinued Suzuki Aerio with the motor from a Hyabusa. Now that would've been cool. As it is, I still have to continue fantasizing about shoe-horning a 'busa mill into a Smart Car.

Preparing for a kayak trip: Food, part one

We've begun collecting and preparing food and gear for a 12-day trip this August along the Pukaskwa coast and Superior Highlands--a journey of about 120 miles as the crow flies, but longer if you hug the shoreline and explore coves and islands. We're planning to take the trip slowly, documenting the area and enjoying detours on land and on water.

We don't want to bring anything along that we haven't tested. So we've been dehydrating food and tasting it; outfitting boats and paddling them; and favoring tried-and-true gear over unfamiliar items. That said, this trip calls for some things we've never needed before. So over the course of the next month or so, we'll blog about what we've learned.

As we planned our menu, we realized we needed some kind of milk to go on breakfast dishes. (Our breakfast menu rotates between steel-cut oats, quick-cooking quinoa, and muesli.) It would be possible to do without milk, but we'll be far happier in the morning's with it. We aren't fans of dried cow's milk, so we prowled around online for a soy milk that gets good consumer reviews. We settled on Better Than Milk Soy and ordered two canisters that make eight quarts apiece.

This tofu-based dried soy milk calls for 2 Tbsp. of powder for each cup of water. 

We tested it this morning. It's tasty and has enough body to hold up on cereal and in cocoa and coffee. This one is coming along.

Alec tests the reconstituted milk on breakfast cereal.

We've already made a few batches of tofu jerky, based on a recipe shared with us by Sue Gjerset of Minnesota, who has participated in courses each of us has taught. It's phenomenal--a great, high-protein snack and lunch item--and we plan to make several more batches before we leave.

TOFY JERKY

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 to 4 tbsp liquid smoke
1/8 cup water
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder or 1 clove crushed fresh garlic
1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp honey
1 pound extra firm tofu

Drain and pat dry the tofu. Take the cube, cut it in half, and then slice it into strips on its short side about ¼ inch in thickness. Mix all the marinade ingredients together well. Put the tofu in a single layer in a shallow baking pan or cookie sheet and pour the marinade over it. Let soak for several hours or overnight. Drain excess liquid and dry tofuin food dehydrator or warm (200 degrees F) oven. This will take 4 to 8 hours, depending on weather. Dry the jerkyuntil it is very chewy, but not crispy.

Be creative: Use Tabasco or ground cayenne if you want it hot. Chili powder makes chili jerky. Oregano and basil make pizza jerky.

Originally we thought we'd prepare most of our food in advance, but with limited time and a lot of other things to do, we've decided to rely heavily on purchased prepared meals. We've ordered several entrees from Outdoor Herbivore, a company that specialize in vegetarian backpacking food, and we've stocked up on Fantastic World Foods instant refried beans, taco filling mix and other quick-to-prepare items. (We're limiting cooking time on everything we bring to 10 minutes in order to conserve fuel.) And although we dehydrated our own mashed sweet potatoes and we plan to dehydrate other produce and perhaps some sauces, we purchased dried peaches and pears.

We're pulling our menus together now, and will post the entire document when it's complete.

Breaking a World Record with SolidWorks!

There seems to be a few sporting events going on this summer, one in London seems to be a bit of a big deal and it got me thinking.  Could I use SolidWorks to discover something about the track and field events?

Modelling a running person was discounted so I thought I'd examine one of the Field events and decided that the shot putt would be a good choice.  So what was the question?  I wanted to know what force was required to match the current world record.  After modelling up the 'Field' and the Shot I then had to come up with a way of modelling the athlete.  After a couple of minutes/hours thought I decided on a simple cannon.  I would push the shot along the cannon at a fixed force.  The launch track would be 2m.  I felt that this would give a reasonable distance to accelerate and also that it would tie in with the actual distance the athlete moves the shot from start to finish.  I only tested for a linear launch and that was what I had used in my school days.  The rotation seemed a bit tricky.

So here was my setup:

Using SolidWorks Event Based Motion I created a simple study that would apply a force to the launcher to push the shot into the air.  The simulation would then stop as soon as it hit the ground and triggered a proximity sensor.

I did not want to just use a random angle or force, I wanted to find out what the most efficient angle and force was to reach the World Record Distance.  I decided to test these individually.  So first to test the angle of launch, I created a Design Study.  Design studies have been in SolidWorks for some time allowing the engineer to test a number of parameters against a system, but this was not something that could previously be carried out for Motion Simulation.  This was something new for SolidWorks 2012 and I was keen to see what it would give me.  I ran the test looking at angles from 30° to 45°.  The optimal angle from this was 35.76°

So now I wanted to know the minimum force required to reach 21.97m the World Record.  This time I set up another study just looking at the launch force.  So what was the force required to launch a shot weighing 7.26kg (16lb) a distance of 21.97m (72 ft)?

413N (93 lbf).  These guys are effectively lifting 42 kg with one hand!  No wonder these guys are all built like a brick outhouse.  That amount of power is incredible.

Once again I was able to use SolidWorks Motion Simulation and Simulation Professional to answer an Olympian question.  What next?

Free Auto-Section Box tool

 

Reference to this tool appeared on twitter the other day from Luke Johnson over at what Revit wants blog. The Tool is from Coins & is called Auto-Section Box.  It can be downloaded from the Autodesk Exchange Apps site for Revit 2013 only.I downloaded the tool yesterday to play with it. What is of most interest is that you select objects to automatically create a cropped 3d section. As Trey from Autodesk suggest on the Autodesk Wiki, you can achieve the same result using a Callout & a default 3d view. However, further investigation you can just select rooms & use these as the crop extents.

So in a plan view select the room.

Next go to the Add-ins tab & select the Auto-Section Box tool (assuming you have installed it). The following dialogue will appear.

The Size “Elements Extents, plus buffer” is the dimension which will form the extents of the section box around the selected room. In this case 300mm or 12”. Next Select ok & a new view is created based on the room. Those that are doing healthcare & S&T work may see some real value in this!

Wilderness First Responder course completed

Every year, we start our paddling season by doing some training or an assessment. We do this in order to stay current as coaches and prepare ourselves for whatever might arise with students.

The dining hall at Camp Kandalore, where painted paddles represent campers who've completed a 30-day canoe trip.

Alec just returned from Camp Kandalore in Ontario, where he completed completed the WAFA to WFR Bridge course to complete his Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification. The training was provided by Matt Howell of Wilderness Medical Associates, Director of Missinaibi Headwaters Outfitters, an adventure touring company in Chapleau, Ontario.

Matt Howell demonstrates methods of reducing a dislocated shoulder in the field.

Obtaining a WFR certification is required for most backcountry guides, and it's invaluable for anyone venturing into the wilderness for an extended trip. It focuses on how to assess and care for patients suffering from a wide range of medical and trauma issues in remote places where emergency services may be days or weeks away.

A litter made of canoe paddles, rope, camping gear and other available materials, designed to keep the patient's spine stable during an extraction over rough terrain.

As we posted when Alec took the Advanced Wilderness First Aid course last fall, the curriculum covers risk management and prevention as well as assessment and management/treatment. It does so through readings, discussions and plenty of scenarios. The Bridge course builds on the body of knowledge in the WAFA course and qualifies participants to treat a greater range of conditions.

A gruesome wound, artfully created with stage makeup, gravel and twigs.

It also emphasizes the risk/benefit considerations in every decision. For us, this is familiar territory. As paddlers and coaches, we are constantly assessing risks and rewards. Will running a particular drop be rewarding enough to be worth the risk? How great is that risk? And how serious are the consequences? And in rescues, we ask whether coming to the aid of one person puts others at risk. In wilderness medicine, rewarding is measured in terms of the patient's health. Will moving him increase his comfort or heighten the chance of injury to the patient, the rescuer and the group? Is the risk associated with administering pain medication worth the relief it provides?

Infant CPR is part of the WFR remit.

Wilderness Medical Associates calls the Wilderness First Responder course "the definitive wilderness course in medical training, leadership, and critical thinking for outdoor, low-resource, and remote professionals and leaders."As we've seen over the six years that we've participated in WMA courses, they are constantly updating the curriculum to reflect new research and current best practices. The courses are rigorous and the knowledge essential. We've already put what we've learned into practice on several occasions, and we've been very glad to have it.

我就對著一個設定密碼的畫面跟它們討論說

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
我覺得這一頁應該是讓學生透過某個網址進來~~~~傳送參數讓系統知道是這位學生

才讓他設定密碼

所以在這之前系統要先發信給學生們這個連結

它們說........看起來應該是這樣......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


幹XDXDXDDXXDXD

但我不會怪裡面的員工啦~~~其實它們蠻好的

只是接這案子的人常出差卻連個規格或文件都沒留下~~~~也不讓其他人知道下

搞得我竟然要跟他們在那邊透過畫面示意猜想流程

真的很無言XD

也很想哭....


如果設計一台車的外型之前不知道它的底盤是啥

那還要弄油土嗎XD

吼!!!!!!!!!!


不過透過這case

倒是學到了一點Zend Framework的相關作法與知識

算是唯一好處XD

哭哭

(圖與文無關XD)


前陣子接了一個案子

工作項目主要就是新增該網站的功能

網站架構

爛到爆炸.......

程式碼

亂78遭

資料庫的設計規劃

爛得跟大便一樣

XDXDXDXDXD


對方之前是請一家叫X龍公司做的

想必是合作不愉快才會上104case找人接手做

而我就是那個雖小的傢伙.....

幹XD

有興趣想知道甚麼公司的可以私下問我XD

免得以後有意找人家做網站遇到不悅的經驗

而我這邊主觀覺得很鳥是因為網站的程式實在寫的太爛了.........

我幾乎崩潰XD


修改這破網站真的很辛苦說

尤其資料庫的欄位命名很鳥........關聯也是亂78遭.....真的超想哭

更想哭的是

報價對方還下修~~~很多

狗屎0rz


舉個例

新增一個管理端的功能頁.......300塊.....

突然閃過以前寫程式的種種畫面

想不到學習寫程式做網頁

今天做這個功能~~~~~價值300塊

吃個燒烤都不夠耶

XD

就覺得超靠杯

花時間做這功能還不如打暗黑3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

打個破千攻擊的武器搞不好還可以賣個3000塊哩XDXDXDXD



就因為原本的報價送去回來剩沒多少

搞得我很不想做說~~~~其實了解這網站架構之後我也很不想做是真的XDXD


總之就一個感想

感覺寫程式很沒價值

真的搞不懂它的價值在哪~~~~~在這些人的眼前

反正我修改好的報價單送回去不OK就不做了

這樣我也開心 :)))))))))))))))

UK bike mag editors play musical chairs

I got a cryptic email this morning that suggests editorial changes are afoot at Bauer Media, publisher of the weekly motorcycle tabloid MCN, as well as the monthlies Bike and Classic Bike.

Hugo Wilson, who has been the editor of Classic Bike as long as I've been a columnist there, really transformed the magazine. I used to think that Bike was the best English-language bike mag -- and I still think it's the most influential one -- but in recent years, Classic Bike's overtaken it. In spite of Classic Bike's narrower focus, it consistently puts out the most readable and best-looking book.

In spite of a weak economy and the usual perturbations in the publishing world, Wilson proved that in motorcycle magazines, as in magic baseball stadiums, "If you build it they (readers) will come." Classic Bike's had steadily increasing page counts and readership.

Now, Hugo Wilson's been called to Bike. Ben Miller will take over the reins at Classic Bike.

In Wilson, Bike has a skillful and erudite editor. What remains to be seen is, will Bike take advantage of this change to institute a really modern publishing strategy -- yes, one that acknowledges the Internet as more than a way to occasionally pick up a print subscriber, or simply tease print content. It may still be hard (read: impossible) to meaningfully monetize the web side of a print/web hybrid, but if Bauer waits until it can see a path to profit on the web before it expands its web presence, it will be too late.

Everything I wrote about the web strategy for Cycle World applies to Bike. Now, it's time to adapt or die.

Windows7下修改drivers/etc/hosts 失效

如果發現修改hosts檔案卻不working

嘗試disalbe這個服務

STEP 5

Hi,
First I would like to say thank you for all your messages received.

Today, I will show you the final result about the main shape for this door handle. I take some time to build the radius of "the head" and the "body"...

As you see, the Class A work can stop here. Means, all details like fixing points, technical fixation on the top of the body etc.

On this picture you can see the "zebra" reflexion to check the quality of the transitional surfaces.

Of course on this blog I will show you one way for doing Class A, I built quickly and some of you probably can see several mistakes ;-) But I just would like to explain how could be the Class A work...

As you see, the radii of my model were build by the explicit workflow. "Explicit" means each surface were control and the parameter (degree / order) was defined by me and not by the software!

One thing important for the Class A standard is to keep a correct control point (cv's) flow... Now, if your CV's looks messy like that:

Mathematically the connexion of your data are correct (T = tangency according to the tolerances). BUT if you check the patch layout and CV's layout your data is not a Class A standard... Of course I build this data on the top specially to show you some mistakes. BUT if you work with some software it is easy for you to found this situation! I will show you the reference data I received before I start this blog...

If you would like to build a "potatose" shape, you need to use many points! (small joke)... Just keep in mind to use the less as possible CV's to defin your shape.

The original data (I received) was build in Catia and with some tools of the solid modeller each surfaces were build only by the software and the software manage itself the parameters of each surfaces. Of course usually it put "too many" control points and it is IMPOSSIBLE for a Class A modeller to use it and redo properly the data. that is why each time the 3D modeller needs to redo everything when he start with the reference data come from a solid modeller (data build by the engineering people without surfacing knowledge). Each time means the most of the time, you could probably find some data build correctly according to the Class A standard... probably... I never saw but it is possible I think ???

In this turntable you can see the reflexions and the shape...

Please someone can help me to know the best way to put some video on a blog and what is the best and free way to caputre the screen?

This is the end of this tutorial...

I will build other tutorials according to your requests or your wishes... Also please tell me what you would like to learn, to see on this blog. This is your blog here!

3dsmax ~ smooth low polygon

用polygon編輯過的物件看起來都會角角的.......


如圖~~~~上面看起來比較弧因為是一開始用Cylinder創建的

下面的則是poly處理過的~~~

看起來不一樣但其實是長一樣的~

解決這問題要用Smoothing Groups

先選擇起來~~~~

在暗Auto Smooth

就好了

designbymany - REskin

Be sure to check out the latest designbymany design challenge, called REskin which asks participants to cleverly reskin a decaying urban building in New York City. The competition is FREE to enter. Autodesk are sponsoring this first challenge & design submissions can range from a focused investigation to an entire reskinning of the building. The skin should be both inventive and buildable. All final submissions must be Revit models.  More information about the challenge can be found - 

http://www.designbymany.com/challenge/reskin

The winner of the REskin challenge will be chosen by a panel of judges, including Autodesk’s own Zach Kron, & HOK’s very own Greg Schleusner and will receive a full license of Autodesk® Revit® Architecture 2013. Go for it! It will be fun.
